Chu Weiyue snorted with disdain. This mother and daughter were really greedy.

I have worked so hard to achieve such great results, and they want to take advantage of it for free. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world!

She rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, but before she could open her mouth to refuse, the marquis next to her glared at Song and Chu Ranxin.

"You two are so ignorant. Do you think you can just bring anyone with you when the emperor summons you? You are treating the palace like a circus."

Chu Ranxin lowered his head, looking aggrieved and about to cry.

This time, the Marquis showed no pity. Instead, he sighed deeply and looked heartbroken.

"They are both daughters, why is there such a big difference? Look at your sister, she has been rewarded many times by the emperor, why haven't you ever been rewarded once?"

Mingming had brought Chu Ranxin into the palace many more times than Chu Weiyue, but she was never treated differently by others.

For a moment, he felt a little regretful. If he had let Chu Weiyue show up earlier, perhaps his official position would have been promoted to a higher level now.

Chu Ranxin clenched his fists tightly, his sharp nails digging into his flesh, and he wished he could rush over and slap Chu Weiyue a few times.

This bitch actually caused her to be scolded by her father again!

Chu Weiyue acted arrogantly, almost turning his nose up at her, and then flattered the Marquis a few times.

"Father, you are right. How can we come to the emperor's summons uninvited? If we are not careful, it may even bring trouble to our entire family."

She sighed pretending to be depressed and set her eyes on Song.

"Aunt, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but you should educate your sister well in the future!"

Since she was just following the Marquis' words, Song Shi wanted to refute but didn't dare.

I could only hold it in until my face turned red and I couldn't utter a word.

Seeing the Marquis leave, Song immediately turned around and left, fearing that she would be the most embarrassed one.

When she left, Chu Ranxin was left alone.

He rushed to Chu Weiyue angrily, pointing at her nose and yelling.

"Chu Weiyue, why are you so arrogant? It's just that I was summoned by the emperor. What's the big deal?"

"Since it's nothing special, if you have the ability, you can also be invited by the emperor. He will definitely reward me later. Just wait and see."

He slapped her hand away, turned around swiftly, and walked out with an oppressive aura on his body, looking very heroic and confident.

When he arrived at the door and saw Chu Weiyue leaving in a carriage, Chu Ranxin's eyes turned red with anger, and he wanted to curse her ancestors in his heart.

Wen Jingchi learned that the emperor wanted to summon Chu Weiyue, so he waited at the road he had to pass.

When they arrived near the Imperial Garden, they saw Wen Jingchi sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, and the eunuch led Chu Weiyue over to greet him.

Wen Jingchi glanced at the eunuch calmly, and he immediately smiled knowingly.

"My two masters, please take your time to talk. I will go and reply to the emperor first."

Before the eunuch walked far, Chu Weiyue hugged Wen Jingchi.

Before she could express her excitement, she pushed him away as if she remembered something, glared at him fiercely, and snorted in annoyance.

"What's going on? How did I provoke you?"

He tried to hug Chu Weiyue, but was pushed away by Chu Weiyue again.

"It took you so long to meet me. What were you doing these past few days?"

She complained a few words awkwardly and turned her face away, not wanting to even look at him.

Wen Jingchi then realized that she was angry about this matter.

He could only hold her in his arms, but Chu Weiyue kept pushing her away.

Wen Jingchi did not let her go and hugged her forcefully for a few times, and Chu Weiyue finally gave in.

He whispered softly in her ear: "I've been really busy these days, but I've been thinking about you in my heart..."

I thought a straight man like Wen Jingchi wouldn't say sweet words, but I didn't expect that his words could be so touching.

At the beginning, I was full of anger, but in the end, all the anger turned into soft water and disappeared without a trace.

"Okay, I'm not ashamed to say so much."

Chu Weiyue obviously liked what he heard, but she refused to admit it.

The two exchanged a few ambiguous words, and Wen Jingchi couldn't help but mention that the emperor had summoned her.

"Congratulations on being summoned by the Emperor. The Emperor will definitely reward you handsomely later."

Chu Weiyue was amused by him and laughed: "Don't worry, if you give me something good later, I will definitely give you a few."

"You said it yourself. If I take away your beloved, you are not allowed to cry." Wen Jingchi teased deliberately.

Chu Weiyue was not stingy at all, instead she nodded carelessly.

"As long as you like it, I'll give you everything. Anyway, what's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine too."

Wen Jingchi raised his finger and scratched her nose affectionately.

"You have a good idea. I have many more good things than you do."

"After we get married, not everything you have will belong to me. Does it make a difference?"

Chu Weiyue's eyes flashed with danger, and Wen Jingchi smiled knowingly without saying anything.

After chatting about some irrelevant things, they got down to business.

"The emperor has only summoned you, and no one else is allowed to follow. You must be careful and do not rashly offend the emperor. His temper is different from mine."

Chu Weiyue couldn't help but click his tongue a few times. This Wen Jingchi really knew how to flatter himself.

Judging from his tone, it seemed that the emperor had a worse temper than him.

But when I first met him, he had a cold face, and one look at him could make someone feel as if ice was all over their body.

How could such a person have a good temper!

But I didn't want to embarrass him, so I just gave him some face and nodded calmly.

"Don't worry, I know what to do. Don't worry."

Wen Jingchi was still worried and continued to give some instructions before taking Chu Weiyue to the imperial study.

The eunuchs were already waiting. Chu Weiyue waved goodbye to them reluctantly and was led inside by the eunuchs.

Arriving at the door, the eunuch pushed it open gently and made a gesture to Chu Weiyue to come in.

"Miss, please go in quickly. The emperor has been waiting for a long time."

At this moment, Chu Weiyue was a little nervous. He clenched his fingers and cheered himself up.

After all, it was her first time meeting the emperor alone, and he was her future father-in-law...

Thinking of the emperor's previous kindness and benevolence, Chu Weiyue felt relieved and went in all at once.

The emperor was calmly drinking tea. When he noticed Chu Weiyue coming, he said nothing and pretended not to see it. He just focused on drinking tea.

Chu Weiyue just waited there without saying a word.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour and seeing that he still didn't speak, Chu Weiyue took the initiative to walk over, picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea.

"Your Majesty, I have already paid my respects. How about I give you another cup of tea?"
